ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)(H4DOTC DIESEL) > General Diagnostic Table

INSPECTION

NOTE:

As a cause for many problems, there is a possibility that abnormal learning of the common rail system has occurred. Before starting the diagnosis, perform learning of the fuel pump and fuel injector.

Malfunction of parts other than those listed is also possible.

Even if the malfunction indicator light is not lit, read DTCs with the Subaru Select Monitor or general scan tool, and if a DTC appears, perform diagnosis according to the relevant DTC.
